A manufacturing execution system is a software solution that factories use to track and manage the production process from start to finish. An appropriate MES helps manufacturers of all kinds optimize their operations and make better decisions, from raw materials to finished goods.

Companies have many choices when selecting an MES from a crowded market of vendors, including the option of building their own from scratch using the latest technology and architecture. Finding the perfect fit requires a strategy tailored to the specific needs of each business. The process must account for industry focus, company size, core business goals, resources, total cost of ownership over time and pre-existing relationships with software vendors.

When choosing an MES from a vendor, it’s critical to consider the vendor’s reputation. A vendor with a proven track record in the industry is more likely to provide a reliable system and continue supporting it into the future. Make sure to consider the total cost of ownership over time, not just the initial purchase price, which means factoring in ongoing operating expenses such as maintenance, training and upgrades.
